[00:45] <pm2> Hi, I'm using the nomachine NX server on kubuntu, trying to connect from Windows.  When I try to log in, KDE freezes on the "initialization" screen, when the K logo gets big and lights up.  Any idea what the problem might be, or how to go about investigating/fixing it?  I can't find anything suggestive in syslog.
[05:40] <noaXess> morning... any body also have empty country list in system settings / locale? http://i.imgur.com/e6rgju4.png
[05:40] <noaXess> kde 4.13.3
[05:41] <Graf_Westerholt> noaXess, yes, that is correct because alle countries decided to create one country. So no countries exist any more. ;)
[05:41] <noaXess> puu.. and how to fix.. to configure spell check?
[05:43] <Graf_Westerholt> noaXess, when I press Alt+F2 and input 'spell checker' I can configure that.
[05:44] <noaXess> Graf_Westerholt: i also can configure it, but can't select default language.. http://i.imgur.com/nao2AoB.png
[05:46] <Graf_Westerholt> noaXess, the only idea I have is to check weather the spell check packets are installed or not. Maybe reinstall them?
[05:47] <noaXess> hm.. that could be ;) cause not used it before..
[06:03] <noaXess> Graf_Westerholt: which package need to be installed? this are installed http://i.imgur.com/vnmE3HR.png
[06:04] <noaXess> that about contry i don't understand.. i live in switzerland. and need this settings about currency, numbers, money and so on..
[06:04] <noaXess> how to do that now, if no country list available?
[06:06] <Graf_Westerholt> aspell-* and myspell-* are dictionarys.
[06:06] <Graf_Westerholt> I do not know why your lists are broken.
[07:36] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:42] <noaXess> hey lordievader
[07:42] <noaXess> do you have a hint, why country list in settings / locale is empty?
[07:42] <noaXess> http://i.imgur.com/e6rgju4.png
[07:45] <lordievader> Hey noaXess
[07:48] <lordievader> noaXess: Have you purged/cleaned-up packages lately?
[07:48] <noaXess> hm...
[07:48] <noaXess> let me think
[07:49] <noaXess> not that i know..
[07:49] <noaXess> i just saw that.. cuase i start using kmail for a special email account and wanted to enable spell check for swiss-german
[07:50] <lordievader> noaXess: It will likely do nothing, but: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[07:50] <noaXess> woow..
[08:17] <xieyi> the plasma desktop cant load correctly after the login screen. I am trying to find the problem. I found an auto start script at ~/.kde/share/autostart . I am not sure whether the desktop is started by this script?
[08:17] <xieyi> the command in the script is plasma-netbook --desktop
[08:18] <xieyi> I checked the help of plasma-netbook and found there is no switch like --desktop.
[08:18] <xieyi> I dont know whether the problem is caused by it
[08:18] <xieyi> any idea?
[08:19] <xieyi> what the command of your script at ~/.kde/share/autostart?
[08:22] <lordievader> xieyi: What version of Kubuntu are you running?
[08:39] <xieyi> lordievader: I am running 14.04 LTS
[08:39] <hateball> xieyi: what's the session name you choose at login?
[08:40] <xieyi> what is the session name?
[08:40] <hateball> so you dont actually choose plasma-netbook if you want desktop
[08:40] <hateball> you have a little dropdown menu
[08:40] <xieyi> is the desktop started by the script at ~/.kde/share/autostart?
[08:42] <xieyi> do you mean activity manager?
[08:42] <xieyi> I am using desktop icon view
[08:43] <lordievader> xieyi: No, on multiple KDE machines that folder is empty.
[08:44] <xieyi> it is weird. Mine contains a script which is not created by me
[08:45] <xieyi> it is called plasma-netbook.desktop
[08:46] <lordievader> I must say that I do not run the netbook version.
[08:46] <xieyi> Maybe is left by the older version of kubuntu.
[08:46] <lordievader> How did you install KDE?
[08:46] <xieyi> I always update from the old version.
[08:47] <xieyi> I ve never done a clean installation
[08:47] <xieyi> the problem just occurred
[08:47] <Graf_Westerholt> Updating from old KDE-Versions creates problems. :(
[08:48] <xieyi> yeah I see. I am trying to solve problem without reinstall kubuntu again
[08:49] <Graf_Westerholt> xieyi, me, too. My home-directory is about ten years old. :)
[08:49] <lordievader> xieyi: If you make a new account, does that one have the same problem?
[08:50] <Graf_Westerholt> xieyi, always check a fresh account to see if the problem occurs there, too.
[08:50] <Graf_Westerholt> lordievader ;)
[08:50] <Graf_Westerholt> lordievader is reading my mind.
[08:50] <xieyi> ok I am trying it
[08:50] <xieyi> good idea
[08:50] <xieyi> thx
[08:51] <xieyi> I am down for a while
[08:51] <lordievader> Graf_Westerholt: Great minds think alike, eh ;)
[08:51] <Graf_Westerholt> LOL
[08:51] <Graf_Westerholt> We forgot to tell him he can log in twice …
[10:56] <lolmaus^^> Hi. I'm unable to log into my Kubuntu 14.04 account. It accepts the password, shows black screen for a moment, then goes back to the log in screen. Was able to enter the guest account and also entered my account in console mode via Ctrl+Alt+F6. Please help me resolve this!
[10:59] <hateball> lolmaus^^: are you using a regular desktop session?
[10:59] <hateball> meh
[11:01] <lolmaus^^> Anyone?
[11:04] <hateball> lolmaus^^: are you using a regular desktop session?
[11:04] <hateball> lolmaus^^: and have you done anything prior to this happening? installed new stuff, ran things with sudo?
[11:14] <dmatt> hello, how is backports repository called in muon, Pre-release updates or what? I have all but pre-release enabled and still on old version 0.5 of kdeconnect, even though 0.7 is available
[11:14] <dmatt> http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/kdeconnect
[11:25] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:31] <dmatt> for the record trusty-backports is in muon listed as unsuported updates (apparently to inspire further googling).
[11:33] <dmatt> question remains if kdeconnect 0.7.1-0ubuntu3~ubuntu14.04.1 0 is available in enabled trusty-backports, why kdeconnect 0.5.2.1-0ubuntu0.1 0 from regular trusty is still installed on my computer?
[11:33] <dmatt> backports are meanto to be installed manually?
[11:35] <hateball> dmatt: you'd have to do dist-upgrade if versions differ
[11:35] <hateball> ... and I dunno how that works in muon, I do all package stuff in a terminal
[11:36] <dmatt> hateball: I do it in terminal, too, except enabling repositories
[11:36] <dmatt> hateball: i did dist-upgrade 5 sec ago and it has no effect
[11:37] <hateball> dmatt: "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" should work, weird
[11:37] <dmatt> hateball: apt-cache policy shows that newer version is available, it just does not have the higher priority, that's why I am asking about manual installing of backports
[11:37] <hateball> hmmm
[11:46] <soee> dmatt: it should just do the ubgrade, lower priority might me some bug in packaging but im not 100% sure
[11:49] <dmatt> ok, it is documented here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports  so it is probably configured to manual install only, but /etc/apt/preferences does not exist so how is the pinning done?
[13:02] <Musa845> i am using kubuntu with one NIC card and I want to share internet on LAN. I have a hub on LAN with some PCs. any help for this?
[13:06] <Musa845> anyone???
[13:11] <shadeslayer> Musa845: #ubuntu might be able to help if no one here can
[13:11] <dmatt> Musa845: you need second network card e.g. wifi, follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/361832/how-can-i-share-my-wired-wireless-network-with-other-devices-on-kubuntu-13-10
[13:13] <Musa845> how about makin alias of interface?
[13:15] <d4rkt1m3s> wow. just tried amarok on windows. it's more than likely to be the best music player available, but on windows it sucks.
[13:17] <dmatt> Musa845: if you have internet on LAN, other have it too. if it is only available to your computer, you might be able to set up proxy for other to use. But I am not expert on this.
[13:18] <Musa845> I want to do is internet pass through my interface and then later i can use squid
[13:20] <Musa845> if i enable ip forwarding i still cannot share internet
[13:23] <SporkWitch> Musa845: using 14.04?
[13:24] <SporkWitch> dmatt: the network manager in 14.04 actually supports a shared connection almost as easily as the windows network manager
[13:24] <Musa845> yes 14.04
[13:24] <SporkWitch> dmatt: used it over the summer to get my ps4 onto the internet through a vpn, using my phone as the connection :)
[13:24] <SporkWitch> Musa845: ok, and does your machine connect to the internet via wifi or eth?
[13:25] <dmatt> SporkWitch: on one network card?
[13:25] <Musa845> eth only
[13:25] <SporkWitch> dmatt: no, if you've only got one network card, you're SOL, unless you're using USB tethering to get the internet access
[13:26] <SporkWitch> Musa845: and from dmatt's question, i take it you only have the one NIC, heh?
[13:26] <SporkWitch> Musa845: if so, we're at an impass.  assuming you have either another ethernet port, or a wireless NIC, we can still set up a shared connection
[13:26] <Musa845> i have only eth0 and i turn on ip forwarding and give gateway on client which is my interface ip it dont do anything
[13:27] <Musa845> i made an alias of my eth0 which is eth0:0
[13:29] <SporkWitch> Musa845: i feel like i'm missing something about the topology here.  you have a computer with one eth port and no wlan.  this computer is connected what to get to the internet?
[13:29] <SporkWitch> s/connected/connected to/
[13:29] <Musa845> the router is attached to hub and my computer is attache to that hub and other test pc is also connected to that hub
[13:30] <SporkWitch> what is your goal, then?  you've got a router, why do you need your desktop to act as one?
[13:30] <Musa845> i am using this to set up linux proxy server later to implement in my house network
[13:31] <SporkWitch> Musa845: ok, well there's no need to do what you're doing.  Assuming that machine is on the same subnet, you can just enter the proxy settings in the other machines and they'll be able to reach it.  that computer would then forward the requests to ITS default gateway, and so on
[13:32] <SporkWitch> Musa845: classic XY problem, assuming i understood you correctly
[13:32] <SporkWitch> Musa845: obviously you'll need to set up that proxy server on the machine first, but yeah, no need for crazy topologies or virtual interfaces
[13:32] <Musa845> this scenario worked few days back but now it is not working
[13:33] <Musa845> what is classic XY problem?
[13:33] <SporkWitch> Musa845: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem
[13:33] <SporkWitch> Musa845: you're looking for help with a PROPOSED solution as opposed to the ACTUAL problem
[13:34] <Musa845> if i configure proxy server on my machine then how other machines will go through my proxy machine if they have gateway
[13:34] <SporkWitch> Musa845: as it happens, there's a much simpler solution that doesn't involve weird, non-standard topologies, virtual interfaces, and othre points of failure (and frustration)
[13:35] <SporkWitch> Musa845: do you have openssh-server installed on that machine? if so, i want you to ssh -D 9999 user@host (where host is the machine you want to BE the proxy), then on the computer you want to be the client, enter settnigs for a SOCKS5 proxy in your browser, using localhost as the address and 9999 as the port
[13:36] <SporkWitch> Musa845: now all of your browser's traffic is going through that remote
[13:36] <SporkWitch> Musa845: once you set up squid, it'll work basically the same, you'll just tell it to use that machine's address, instead of localhost
[13:37] <Musa845> i got it dude but is alias of interface creating problem? can you give me some good link on squid and ip forwarding?
[13:37] <SporkWitch> Musa845: it could very potentially be
[13:38] <SporkWitch> Musa845: but more importantly, there's no need for the virtual interface, so cut it out
[13:38] <Musa845> thanks man, any links for squid?
[13:38] <SporkWitch> Musa845: why give yourself unnecessary headaches, after all?
[13:38] <SporkWitch> http://google.com/ :)
[13:39] <SporkWitch> it's one of the most common proxy servers used, it'll be a high result lol
[13:39] <Musa845> actually it worked before like this but at that time squid created problem so i want to make it now
[13:39] <SporkWitch> gotta go for a bit, get to my next class (calculus, whee >_<)
[13:40] <SporkWitch> Musa845: it working before in a weird configuration isn't entirely unheard of
[13:40] <SporkWitch> Musa845: when it comes up working again for no discernable reason, we had a term for it in the military: "FM", or "eFfing Magic"
[13:40] <Musa845> ok enjoy calculus thanks for hearing me
[13:40] <SporkWitch> np, hopefully we've streamlined your solution and you'll be able to get it behaving in a sane manner now :)
[13:41] <Musa845> i am sane but have some einstein behaviour in me....experiments
[13:46] <Moscherkobold> hello everyone, is it possible to move a thunderbird profile folder from a windows machine to my linux machine? I know this works fine from windows to windows or linux to linux, but does it also work over different OS ?
[16:00] <benbalach> Hi guys I have a question, how can I fix Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus
[16:00] <benbalach> Doesn't let me log in
[16:01] <benbalach> I check online and it says that I have to edit the /usr/bin/startkde file
[16:01] <benbalach> I tried to edit it in the terminal in recovery mode

[16:04] <benbalach> hello?
[16:04] <benbalach> anyone there
[17:22] <keithzg> ...was about to answer, but I guess he's long gone.
[17:22] <keithzg> So hmm, the KDE Partition Editor doesn't recognize btrfs, eh?
[17:22] <keithzg> Or at least, I have a BTRFS-formatted drive that GParted understands just fine but the KDE Partition Editor doesn't.
[17:23] <keithzg> Maybe it's just KDE Partition Editor not understanding loop partition tables.
[17:42] <zero_coder> hello
[17:43] <zero_coder> after using wine, my screen resolution change to something else. how can reset it back?
[17:46] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: use kscreen?
[17:46] <shadeslayer> System Settings -> Monitor
[17:47] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, i cant find
[17:48] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: what release are you on
[17:48] <zero_coder> kubuntu 14.04
[17:49] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, ?
[17:49] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: yeah so open system settings
[17:49] <zero_coder> done
[17:49] <shadeslayer> Display and Monitor under hardware
[17:49] <shadeslayer> unless you specifically removed it
[17:49] <shadeslayer> it = the package
[17:49] <zero_coder> its not working properly
[17:49] <shadeslayer> define not working properly
[17:49] <zero_coder>  i didnt remove it
[17:50] <zero_coder> okay, the package is missing
[17:50] <zero_coder> so, what package to install
[17:51] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, ?
[17:51] <shadeslayer> kscreen
[17:51] <zero_coder> its already newest version
[17:51] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: kcmshell4 kcm_kscreen
[17:52] <shadeslayer> run that in a konsole
[17:52] <shadeslayer> and pastebin what happens
[17:52] <zero_coder> This backend is only for XRandR 1.1, your version is:  1 . 4
[17:52] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, ^^
[17:55] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, ?
[17:56] <shadeslayer> moment, talking to someone
[17:56] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, okay
[17:56] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: apt-cache policy kscreen
[17:58] <zero_coder> i think i found something
[17:58] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, 1 min
[17:59] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, i am sorry
[17:59] <shadeslayer> ??
[17:59] <zero_coder> i got it now
[17:59] <zero_coder> and thanks shadeslayer :)
[17:59] <zero_coder> http://askubuntu.com/questions/467875/kubuntu-14-04-no-screen-resolution-changer
[17:59] <shadeslayer> cool
[17:59] <zero_coder> yep.. sad that i couldnt spot it though
[18:00] <shadeslayer> lol
[18:00] <shadeslayer> zero_coder: usually there's a tickbox inside the screen to disable/enable it
[18:01] <zero_coder> shadeslayer, okay :) . thanks anyway
[18:01] <shadeslayer> cheers
[18:56] <alberto> ciO
[18:56] <alberto> Ciao
[18:57] <bprompt> hmm
[19:26] <MaCol> Anyone know how I can get my second monitor to work automatically when I plug it in?
[19:26] <lordievader> MaCol: Write a script that checks xrandr and enables/configures it?
[19:27] <MaCol> How do I trigger the script?
[19:27] <lordievader> MaCol: Cron? (Just throwing ideas here...)
[19:27] <MaCol> Ha, almost feasible :-)
[19:29] <MaCol> My (longstanding) issue is my laptop dock won't allow me to open the lid. So when I plug in, even though the new monitor is recognised I have to do stuff before it works.
[19:30] <MaCol> With 12.04 I had it so I could type Fnc+F8 which is just possible. but 14.0.4 won't do it.
[19:31] <lordievader> MaCol: Fire a script with a binding to that key?
[19:32] <MaCol> I'll look into that, but really I just want it to work without intervention. Surely...?
[19:34] <lordievader> MaCol: It might very well be that with some config work it does. But I'm afraid that I do not know.
[19:38] <MaCol> Well, thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I can can figure out a way to get udev to trigger the script.
[20:05] <MaCol> I've set up a global shortcut which calls a script based on ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc. Seems to work.
[22:24] <bennypr0fane> hello, what's the standard file search tool in kubuntu? For kde it seems to be kfind, but kubuntu replaced it with something else?
[22:28] <bennypr0fane> right now, I'm looking for a file on an external harddrive that has probably not been indexed yet by the os
[22:28] <bennypr0fane> what's the best way to do that?
[22:36] <shadeslayer> !find /usr/bin/kfind
[22:37] <shadeslayer> bennypr0fane: you can just install the kfind package
[22:37] <bennypr0fane> shadeslayer: it pulls a lot of dependencies, I wonder why those aren'T installed by default
[22:38] <shadeslayer> like what?
[22:38] <shadeslayer> I think kfind was kicked off the ISO because the ISO was growing too large
[22:38] <bennypr0fane> shadeslayer: I mean isn't this functionality supposed to be there anyway, just provided by some other service?
[22:39] <bennypr0fane> aha...
[22:39] <shadeslayer> bennypr0fane: yes, baloo
[22:39] <bennypr0fane> then how do i use that?
[22:39] <shadeslayer> idk if baloo has support for external media yet
[22:40] <bennypr0fane> when I type baloo in the menu's app finder, it only gives me settings of desktop search, but not the actual search tool
[22:40] <shadeslayer> the search tool is krunner
[22:40] <bennypr0fane> oh
[22:40] <shadeslayer> or baloosearch on the commandline
[22:40] <bennypr0fane> it searches for files?
[22:40] <bennypr0fane> i mean krunner
[22:40] <shadeslayer> yes
[22:41] <bennypr0fane> it seems it has started indexing the external hdd
[22:41] <bennypr0fane> initially it was in the "don't index these places" section, but i removed it
[22:42] <bennypr0fane> anywayif I install kfind, will it use the index allready present, or try to get it from a service that is not installed?
[22:45] <shadeslayer> bennypr0fane: kfind is just a gui for the find command
[22:45] <shadeslayer> so while you can do file name searches
[22:45] <shadeslayer> you can't do content searches with kfind
[22:45] <shadeslayer> also, kfind doesn't keep a db of files it has indexed
[22:45] <shadeslayer> baloo will take a bit of time to populate the db, but once the db is populated, searches are supposed to be instant
[22:45] <shadeslayer> or nearly instant
